Sometimes, deviled eggs hatch

Central Lutheran Church in Minneapolis was, to a member of The American Lutheran Church, about as close as a church could get to what St. Peter's Basillica in Rome is to a Roman Catholic. It remains, even after the 1988 merger, the holiest ELCA shrine in Minneapolis.

Yesterday morning a breakfast was served at Central Lutheran to delegates to the ELCA's Churchwide Assembly. As events progressed toward last night's official declaration by the ELCA that anal intercourse between two men is the moral equivalent of conjugal relations between a husband and his wife, a delegate was heard to ask, "What did they serve at that breakfast? Deviled eggs?"

As Pomeraneus reports in a comment on my previous entry, as the Churchwide Assembly moved last night toward its vote on the sexuality statement, a small tornado hit downtown Minneapolis and knocked the cross off the steeple at Central Lutheran.

Eisegete that.
